If you want to use WiFi at your local Starbucks, you usually have to pay to do it. Bell who provides WiFi services for Starbucks in Canada and AT&T in the US don’t exactly make it affordable to do so though. But now there is a way to use it for free.
For Americans, this is what you need to do:
- Get A Starbucks card.
- Sign up for a Starbucks.com account here and register your Starbucks card.
- Sign up for a AT&T account here. You have to agree to receive spam e-mail from AT&T four times a year.
- Make sure that you refill your Starbucks card every 30 days or less or use it every 30 days or less to buy something.
Once you’ve done all of that simply take your laptop to Starbucks, open your browser and use your AT&T username and password to get on line. At this point, you’re good for two hours of free surfing every day. Remember, refill your Starbucks card every 30 days or less or use it every 30 days or less to buy something so that you can keep getting 2 free hours a day.
Now for Canada, the process is a bit more straightforward:
- Sign up for a Starbucks.com account here.
Once you’ve done all of that simply take your laptop to Starbucks, open your browser and use your Starbucks.com username and password to get on line. At this point, you’re good for two hours of free surfing every day.
There is a second option for Canadians. If you’re a Bell Internet customer, you can log in with your “My Bell self serve profile.” Don’t know what that is? Click here for more info. That will score you free surfing as well for 2 hours a day as well. You can get more details here.
I’ve been doing this for the last month or so in quite a few Starbucks here in Canada and it works quite well. So if you travel with your laptop and you need a place to work while sipping a tall Caffè Americano, Starbucks is now your place.
